Uncomfortable amount of dishonesty in wholesaling?

Jared Garza
Posted

I'm just getting started in wholesaling but I have noticed an extremely uncomfortable amount of people being dishonest in the wholesaling business. For example, telling people "My wife and i are looking for a new home but we can't afford that much, is the price flexible?" Blatant lies like this are found everywhere. The worst part in my opinion is that they are teaching others to do this type of stuff. I'm not sure why i'm posting except for the hope that another newbie sees this post and realizes they shouldn't conduct business that way. It is insane to me that people are so blinded by a little money that they can so easily bring themselves to lie to others. But what goes around surely does come around, it never fails. I hope they one day realize the error of their ways. 

Now that the rant's over, if anyone has any tips for me to get that first deal i would be extremely grateful for your wisdom :) or if you'd like to share your experience with wholesaling deception! 

Thank you!
